Your wiring circuit is correct right. Other than that no idea why this happened. I do get a lower voltage at idle with headlight ON. This is because headlight takes power from the battery and the coil can not charge it enough. But lower voltage without any load too? That's strange.

No problem with copyright!

No with your circuit, how did you manage to tap the wire after the stock rectifier? Is it not possible to tap right from the coil?

My stock headlight gets power from the RR Unit, not directly from coil. AFAIK its the same in all bikes.

As far as I know, every bike with AC Headlights have different coil for the purpose. So even though your wiring may route from the rectifier, it's best tap it from the coil. In my case Red stripe in Yellow, carries the AC current to the Headlights.

I connected the rectifier i did to the old headlight wire. Thats all.

But the current direct from the coil is unregulated! The RR unit regulates this current. So, it is not advisable to bypass the RR unit.

Somebody courier me ZMA or AVVY's rectifier for testing will return it back

RR Unit regulates the AC Current? Are you sure?

The power going to headlight is not regulated. Our custom rectifier, is actually regulating it with the capacitor.

But all in all, the setup should work whichever way it suites your bike. Shree, do dome real world testing, see if your battery is discharging.

I have done some research on the internet about the role of the RR unit on bikes. This unit does 2 thing - regulates the voltage and rectifies it to DC.

Our bikes have a permanent magnet charging system - the magnetic field strength is fixed. So, as the engine speed increases, the output voltage of the coil too increases. This regulator maintains it at around 13.8V.

How is the regulation done? Our bikes uses short circuit regulation scheme. The RR unit monitors coil voltage. As soon as it increases above a preset level, it short circuits the coil. Note that it does not open circuit the coil - this would have led to sparking in the RR unit and this principle is used by the ignition coil. These short circuits maintains voltage level. But there is a catch - heat generation occurs due to which cooling is needed in forms of heatsinks. As a significant amount of energy is wasted in form of heat, this system is not very efficient.

Note - this is the reason why we need to change the RR unit too when we change to avenger coil. The stock RR unit can be burnt due to excessive heat generation.

This output is now rectified using full wave rectification circuits to generate DC. The AC output of the rectifier is not rectified. It is just regulated.
